I have a sung version of this on CD and I pray along with it every morning as I'm driving to my university classes. I first heard the Litany of the Saints at John Paul II's funeral (although in Latin), and I was amazed at how powerful it was. Ver reverential, very loving - straight to the heart of Our Lord.

Oh dear, it's a bit hard to understand because it got all squished together. Hopefully it's readable...

Where'd you get the CD? I've been looking for one that has the chant as we sing it at Mass. Brings me to tears every time when we get to Perpetua and Felicity. I have a devotion to those two amazing martyr's.

I downloaded it from the internet...unfortunately, I don't know the site or anything. Hopefully someone here can suggest something. I'll also check Amazon to see if they have anything of the sort...
